Energy and Entropy of a Stretched Rubber Band
Stephen Perry invented and patented the modern rubber band in 1845. Young scientists put his discovery to work as they use rubber bands to observe entropy and enthalpy. They determine the change in free energy to figure out if it...
Curated OER
Metals and Hydrogen Cars: Chemistry 10-12
Students investigate which metal is best to use as storage material in hydrogen cars. In this chemistry lesson, students differentiate endothermic and exothermic reactions. They write a reflection paragraph about what they learned in the...
Curated OER
Being Spontaneous
In this spontaneous reactions worksheet, students read about entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy. They complete a table with reaction conditions and determine if the reaction is spontaneous or not. They solve three problems about...
Curated OER
Gibbs Free Energy
In this chemistry worksheet, students solve 2 problems on Gibbs free energy. They calculate the standard free energy of formation for given reactions.
